This Division offers short-term courses and elective courses (to be chosen by MSc and PhD students). The Department of Health Sciences is attached with a 160 beds yoga therapy Health Home (Arogyadhama) meant to not only treat the yoga therapy participants (we do not call them patients) suffering from various modern ailments but also draw normal persons for prevention of possible illness and promotion of positive health by the Integrated Approach of Yoga Therapy (IAYT). The students will not only acquire theoretical knowledge and practical experience by their own yoga practices but also get the rich experience of working with doctors, senior yoga therapists and with the yoga therapy participants. Handling them under severe conditions of the diseases immensely help them to become confident of their learning and usefulness of IAYT. The research section with modern gadgets helps them to measure the changes in these participants to assess the improvements. The Department of Bio-Sciences includes the following laboratories: the psychophysiology, Neuro-psychology, sleep lab, metabolic analyzer lab, immune lab, bio-chemistry and psychology labs. It is here that the students get the necessary training to do research of international standards. The modern scientific research is applied to esoteric dimensions of tradition as well as investigations into the paranormal. Essentially this department is meant for the basic research to understand the effects of various yoga practices on human systems. The Department of Natural Sciences has 8 sections encompassing a large spectrum of living systems and their changes due to interactions with human beings. The effect of Agnihotra, Sound, Music, Vedic chanting etc. on plants and animals is studied in great detail in this department. The department includes agricultural farms, gardens, forests, horticultural plants and a GoSala with more than 100 cows. The usefulness of cowdung, Gomutra or urine of cows as possible medicines is also studied.

    NEW HORIZONS IN MODERN MEDICINE
    (SWAMI VIVEKANANDA YOGA PRAKASHANA, 2010-12-09) Nagendra H.R.
    Science and Technology have revolutionalised the life style of man. Increased standards of living has brought great comfort to mankind. Modern medicine with its scientific attitude in research has been able to unravel many mysteries within a short period of about 100 years, which were out of reach for mankind over generations. The remarkable research in the early part of this century was the discovery of germs in the causation of several diseases. There were several diseases killing mankind through epidemics and pandemics. I recollect my grandmother's description of an outbreak of plague in the city. People were asked to move out of the house instantaneously with minimal luggage to remote villages as soon as they saw a rat falling dead in the house. The corporation lorries were busy clearing away the human corpses to be burnt as quickly as possible—the only answer they knew to deal with the epidemics of plague. Outbreak of cholera and typhoid took a toll of 2 or 3 persons from each house. The pandemics of Influenza killed men so fast that there were not enough people to nurse the sick.

    RESEARCH METHODS
    (SWAMI VIVEKANANDA YOGA PRAKASHANA, 2010-12-08) Nagendra H.R.; Telles Shirley
    Nowadays there is an increasing interest in using non pharmacological ('alternative') modes of treatment for ailments which are known to be caused by stress induced changes in the mental state. However, though there is a growing awareness and interest in these treatments, they are not yet accepted by the medical community, in India or elsewhere. For this reason the clinical progress has to be systematically monitored, using methods which are acceptable the world over.

    YOGA ITS BASIS AND APPLICATIONS
    (SWAMI VIVEKANANDA YOGA PRAKASHANA, 2010-12-08) Nagendra H.R.
    A team of mountaineering experts had undertaken a search for the giantsnow- man, cyeti}, in the Himalayas. The team was out to get information regarding his lifestyle. Teti, reported to be a nine footer with each of his feet measuring two feet, was not seen too frequently even by the people living at the foothills of the Himalayan range. Teti had found a safe refuge in the wilderness of the icy Himalayan peaks. This giant-killer and man-eater, during his maiden visits, carried away a lamb or a hen from the outskirts of the villages; at times some children living in the foothill villages never returned home at night. The villagers suspected Teti of kidnapping their children for his food! Without shooting him down, information had to be collected by team-members. Thus, the task of the team was tricky, delicate and adventurous. But the search did not yield the desired result and still continues.
